We had a really fun time with Howard's sister and her husband this past Sunday and Monday. I know, that is a weird timespan for a weekend, but those were his days off. We went for a late birthday celebration for Jim, Howard's brother-in-law. On his birthday, we were both sick with the flu/crud that was going around here. Since he has IPF and is on oxygen 24/7, we weren't going to take any chances of exposing him to any stray bugs. Their son and his wife and children were there also. He was building a window seat in his mom's sewing room.
Howard did all of the prep work before we left home so he could get right to his cooking when we got there, about 4 hours away. He cooked steaks, butterfly pork chops, baked beans, corn, and country style green beans. At home, he had made an apple cranberry cobbler and I made a banana pudding that we put in the cooler and took with us. It was all so yummy. Of course, we all ate way too much.
On Monday, the fellows went to CarMax and then to Opry Mills mall to get a battery for Jim's oximeter and to have lunch. After a couple of hours, they came home and took naps. Rose and I met members of the local quilt guild for lunch and a mini shop hop to three quilt shops. My "no new fabric" resolve went down the drain. Except for one kit, everything I got was for swaps or quilts that I need to have made in the next two to three months so it wasn't too bad. And, the kit will be perfect for one of the granddaughters.
The weather was good while we were there but it has turned cold again. Lots of rain and high winds last night, about 60 mph gusts. Sure thought that large tree in the yard was going to go over but it didn't. Guess it's stronger that I thought it was. Sure am glad that we haven't had to deal with all of the snow and ice many people have. They sure do have my prayers and good thoughts during all of that bad weather. We've only had the extreme cold for a few days at a time and it's not as bad as further north. I'm just glad my propane tank is full and the furnace is working.
